British Curriculum International Schools in Madrid, Spain

British-curriculum international schools in Madrid teach the English National Curriculum (with pupils typically taking IGCSE/GCSE exams at 14 - 16 and A-levels or other post-16 routes at 16 - 18), and some schools also offer bilingual BiBac pathways or the International Baccalaureate alongside British examinations. Instruction is principally in English while Spanish language and local culture are taught across the age range, and many schools run bilingual streams or additional Spanish support for non-native speakers. Fees vary by school and age but most international schools in Madrid fall into a mid-range band, with many annual tuitions commonly in the low-to-mid four-figure to low five-figure euro range and considerable variation depending on campus and services. Admissions follow the Spanish school year cycle with a main intake in September, common entry assessments or interviews, and waiting lists - families should confirm recognition of qualifications for Spanish university entry and allow several months for applications and paperwork.
